Just because you have HIV does not mean you have TB. But here is the catch, around 30% of the worlds population carry TB, 10% of that population will eventually contract active TB wich can be deadly if not treated ASAP. Even those on treatment could possibly die due to the disease progress, or the medications used to treat TB.
After a month went to a reputed hospital of our country for confirming tb. Doctors did all the test. They also gave elisa 3rd generation hiv test .It was after 45 days of blood transfusion. Came negative result. Tb was concluded and told to continue medicines for 9 months. I did complete the medicine course being always scared of MDR tb by googling on net, every 2 months doctors visit, multiple ct scan and xray. Doctors said an old scar is remaining and you are healed.
But another doctor suspecting it as RA.
Hello Doctor,
Greetings to your hard work,
I have checked Hiv 1 & 2 abs test after 4 & 5 months, is it conclusive or i have to wait for anohter 1 month for extra sure.
What is known as elisa method? whether hiv detection has to be done only through elisa or normal hiv 1 & 2 Abs test is enough.
When is normally a hiv test should be done after a possible exposure for 100% sure.
Kinldy do the reply to relive by fear.
Dr. i am rehan , i had unprotected gay sex with my friends many time but that was last three year before in these three years i have not done any sexual intercourse , but last 2 months i am not feeling well i got headache , little fever , nose block , cough ,excessive sweating , blur vision & lumpy gland behind the ear , i have done hiv test 3 times first triot , then Elisa & 3rd Elisa (cmia) index value 0.23 all comes non-reactive but now i am diagnose with TB.
small size lymphnodes are stays for 15 to 20 days and disappears after that my doctor prescribed me Tab Lynx for lymphnodes.last week i have checked for tuberculosis test. it came possitive “14mm”.but in Elisa test it came negative.my HIV test also came negative.
But i have doubt Of HIV or other STD’s because i am in contact with the girl from last 2 years.i came to know that she is now having sexual contact with another guy i dont know that guy having HIV or not.

two step Montoux and ELISA for TB. Polyclonal gammopathy is suggestive of lymphoproliferative disorders, liver diseases, connective tissue diseases, chronic infections, and bone marrow suppression.
So, if TB is confirmed, then AKT4 can be started. The rifampicin capsule has to be taken empty stomach in morning. The rest three tablets are to be taken after proper breakfast.
Please consult your mother’s doctor.Take care!
after 45 days post transfusion i was visiting a renowed hospital in India (my country) for satisfaction that yes i indeed had tb nothing else....they did all the test and said to continue tb medication for 9 months and i did that....they also did HIV elisa 3rd generation post 45 days of blood transfusion..and negative result came back....fast forward 2 years later in september 2017 i caught dengue fever...i recovered within 10 days...
I was in South Africa in September 2011 and had protected sex with 4 CSWs. I got myself tested after the 3 month mark and the result was negative (Elisa test for HIV 1 +2)
Rest of the points have already been shared with you in chronological order in my previous post. I would request you take a look at them again in conjunction with the new info I provided and provide me your valuable comments on the following points
1) Does this change anything as far my status goes?
I just met the doc about an hour ago and he advised me that I mmight have a latent TB or TB infection and asked me to get a test done...called Elisa Test for some IGM and IGG...why do you think he has asked for it...he said something related to the immunity system of the body...also he told me the infection that I have has been there for some time and not a recent one ...so immunity system of the body must be good...throw some light ...
I see myself healthy, after my testing, I was informed that the Elisa test was positive and needs confirmatory. The nurse said, we will wait for the confirmatory test. When I heard the news, i started feeling numbness and tingling in my legs and hands every night and day and does not stop. I keep on being very worried. As I wait for the confirmatory test, is the numbness related to HIV or anxiety?
I tried meditating and emptying my thoughts, I did a rest from work and I felt good and relax.
my husband said 4 years ago before me he had tested positive but when they did the confirmation test it was negative.
Though fair to say that it all started after an event of high risk protected sex which left me in guilt and anxiety. My provider has written a mantaux test which is for TB I think. I have had lungs TB 6 years back which got away after treatment.
So will that affect the mantaux test? Also what can be reasons other than std and TB for genital pain and overall malaise.
Though I still doubt herpes test.can anyone of u suggest what to do from here.I'm extremely tired of malaise and pain.
The way they manufacture the TB test it's only for single use. It's literally not possible to reuse because of how its made, so you have nothing to worry about.
